Tools for your AI Agents to operate Apache APISIX

Ask your AI agent "List all active routes in my APISIX gateway." and get the answer without opening a single dashboard. With 50 tools connected to real Apache APISIX data, your agents reason over live information, cross-reference it with other MCP servers, and deliver insights you would spend hours assembling manually.

Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client. Powered by Vinkius — your credentials never touch the AI model, every request is auditable. Connect in under two minutes.

Why teams choose Vinkius

One subscription gives you the infrastructure to connect your AI agents to thousands of MCP servers — and deploy your own to the Vinkius Edge. Your credentials stay yours. Your data flows directly between your agent and the API. DLP blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade routing and governance, zero maintenance.

What the Apache APISIX MCP Server unlocks

Connect your Apache APISIX instance to any AI agent to orchestrate high-performance traffic management through natural language.

What you can do

  • Route Orchestration — List, inspect, create, or delete routes to match client requests and forward them to target upstreams.
  • Service Abstraction — Manage service entities that group common plugins and upstream configurations for easier API maintenance.
  • Upstream Management — Configure virtual host abstractions for load balancing, including node management and health checks.
  • Consumer Control — List and manage API consumers to handle authentication and per-user rate limiting.
  • Configuration as Conversation — Update complex JSON configurations for any gateway resource without manually using CURL or the Dashboard.

How it works

1. Subscribe to this server
2. Provide your APISIX Admin URL and Admin Key (X-API-KEY)
3. Start managing your microservices infrastructure from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client

Who is this for?

  • DevOps Engineers — quickly audit routing rules and upstream health directly from the terminal or chat.
  • Backend Developers — create and test new API routes and service abstractions without leaving the IDE.
  • SRE Teams — troubleshoot traffic flow and consumer access issues using natural language queries.

Frequently asked questions about the Apache APISIX MCP Server

Can I update a route's configuration directly through the AI?

Yes. Use the put_route tool by providing the Route ID and the new configuration JSON. The agent will interface with the APISIX Admin API to apply the changes immediately.

How do I list all the backend upstreams configured in my gateway?

Simply ask the agent to 'list upstreams'. It will trigger the list_upstreams tool and return a detailed list of all virtual hosts and load balancer nodes.

Is it possible to delete a service that is no longer needed?

Yes, you can use the delete_service tool. Provide the specific Service ID, and the agent will remove the resource from your APISIX configuration.

Vinkius AI Gateway

We built the connector to Apache APISIX. Now put your agents to work. Fully governed.

Vinkius is the AI Gateway with managed hosting. Stop building connectors. Every connection runs inside eight layers of security.

How it works
Infrastructure

Hosted, sandboxed, and live on AWS. You don't provision anything. You don't maintain anything. You connect.

Visibility

Every tool call, every token, every response. Logged and auditable. Data flows direct from Apache APISIX to your agent. Nothing is stored on our side. Ever.

Control

Eight governance layers on every request. Sensitive data redacted before it reaches the model. Kill switch if anything goes sideways. Always on.
